    we didnt know there was a meal / accommodation / diving package as we booked through booking.com, as a result we had to order our food everyday. unfortunately the food took forever to come out, secondly the food wasnt great for the price we paid and being so remote you had no other option but to eat at the restaurant. If you book with the web site you can line up a dive, food and accommodation package which could work out cheaper and better value

    its a one stop shop, dive, accommodation and food the reef Infront of the accommodation is amazing accommodation had a great beach view and accommodations was simple and was great. staff are really helpful with order scooters and day activities

    My reservation did not "come through" and the hotel was full. A room for 2 nights was found (I booked 3). They "upgraded" me to a Seaview room, but it meant I got to stay next to their loud, private party. Later, they were able to print the Booking.com confirmation, to show me the rates, so after all, they did have the booking. I booked diving, 2 days, 2 dives per day. On the 2nd day, I was getting ready, when the Dive Manager told me: sorry, the boat is full... They didn't care I had a booking. Nothing was done by the hotel management to try to rectify the situation, or inform me sooner. In fact I had to go to them to find out what was happening. They are not proactive, there is a big lack of communication and in the end, there was no compensation for any of my trouble. Overall, beautiful place, but unfortunately, with poor management. Besides these issues, the food is of low quality. One day, dinner was plain rice, with vegetables from the freezer (zero flavour) and some chicken that was more bone than meat. Sad for a country that has such a rich food culture.

    Beautiful rooms and location. Very clean.

    A little expensive, but worth it.

    The staff was just amazing! Once you check in they take care of you like their own. And the food is exceptional too!

    we had only breakfast, when we ordered food we had to wait till all the full board guests had theirs. we didn’t feel welcome from the owner( peter) he always takes to high prieces and we are not the only ones that complained about that. the manger of the scuba company is also far away form being professional. if you stay here search another scuba option. much cheaper the beautiful jetty on thepictures is realy destroyed there is also not one comfortable place at the resort where you can chill, only woodenchairs with no pillows

    nice view if you have a bungalow with Oceanside

    Smell of fuel near the restaurant. Hot water only for 50 seconds in the shower. Food was terrible. Only the fresh juice was good and the chicken sandwich . We stay only 2 nights to get to the ferry near by.

    Comfortable mattress .

    As a vegetarian the food is ok. everything seemed to be a side dish instead of a complete meal. The resort needs someone in charge to provide good hospitality to their guests and make sure everyone is ok and feeling welcome. We did not feel this and felt quite let down by the lack of the personal touches throughout our stay.

    the rooms are really nice. hot water and air conditioning is great.

    In raja ampat, accomodation is only one piece of the whole experience. The service (tours and dives) the resort provides is very important. And the scuba and snorkeling services Waimo Resort provided me were very disappointing. I did one dive and they took me to the reef right in front of the resort in a day the conditions were not good (not great visibility). With so many place in a short boat ride, I am sure there must have been a better alternative but they just didn't put an effort to make it a better experience to the client. They also charged me for the transfer from the harbor without telling me (It was a cheap ride but they just didn't communicate I'm advance). The resort was pretty empty and they put me literally right in front of the area where they were having a construction so there machine and hammering noise all day long. It just seemed to me they didn't care about providing a great experience.

    It's close to the harbor. Beds are ok. Clean.
